invalidate_mapping_pages() in your patch won't invalidate the locked page returned by
grab_cache_page(). The following patch addresses the bug by calling
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() instead.

    ext4: Invalidate donor file pagecache in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
    
    After calling EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, the donor file will have data blocks previously
    owned by the orig file. But the pagecache for donor file still refers to old
    blocks in memory. The patch invalidates all pagecaches for donor file corresponding
    to replaced blocks. So later reading donor file won't hit the wrong pagecache.
